Hooniverse Weekend Edition: The Mercedes-Benz of Hondas
/
Starting off on another Hooniverse Weekend, I thought I would open with a reader submission from Texan_Idiot (Thanks Man!). It is a tragedy that someone would take a perfectly good 1994 Honda Prelude and perform this type of cosmetic surgery.

Rocket Rails

That’s an old photo of the Lakehurst NJ Navel base sled tracks, right around the corner from where the oh the huge manatee took place . This is one of five nearly 2-mile long tracks at the facility, and the 4 J57 jet engines on that sled are claimed to produce a combined 47,000 pounds of…

California Wagon Dreamin' – LeMons Part Hauler Edition
/
How’d your Saturday go? This week we decided to skip Cars and Coffee this week in favor of More Sleep and Coffee. We needed the extra energy to spend a day reveling in bottom-end Automobilia. You see, for nearly a year I’ve been sitting on a pile of BMW 6-series trim and interior bits. Basically…

[Ed. Note: Friend of Hooniverse Nick Gregson recently rented a Camaro SS and hit the California roads for a weekend adventure.

The Super Bowl MVP gets to drive…
/
Cadillac has supplied the Super Bowls most valuable player with their choice of a free ride for the last eight years. The most recent recipient, Santonio Holmes, went with a Platinum edition Hybrid Escalade.

Hooniverse Weekend Edition: Last Call – Metal Heart by Keith Loutit
/
Sydney photographer and filmmaker Keith Loutit created a series of short films using the tilt-shift / time-lapse technique, making everyday scenes look like miniatures. Boats bob like toys in a bathtub, cars race like slot-cars, and crowds march as toy armies. This short film, titled Metal Heart, was released over a year ago, but seems…

Hooniverse Asks- Who's Your Automotive Hero?

On TV and in the movies, heros usually have some sort of superhuman power, or undertake unbelievable deeds of daring- escaping without so much as a hair misplaced.

Every one of us has driven a car that, for one reason or another, is significant for any given reason. Be it the oldest or the newest, slowest or the fastest, or any other number of titles we apply to a given vehicle. I had a 1987 Honda Prelude that was my first vehicle. The…

/
While qualifying for the fourth stage of the Red Bull Air Race World Championship in Windsor Ontario, Matt Hall encountered a little thing we like to call. . . the water. Check out the video for his amazing performance, which is something of which Sully Sullenberger would be proud.

Mystery Car Revealed
/
Well, once again it didn’t take long, proving that the Hooniverse commenters save inane car knowledge in the same way Howard Hughes saved urine. The answer to today’s Mystery Car was almost hit by Armand4, but Alff got the bullseye with the complete name, which is Meyers Manx SR2. The SR2, designed by Bruce Meyers…
